- A CALL FOR CATECHISTS – You are invited to become a catechist of any of our Religious Education Programs – There are opportunities to share your faith with our children (3 years – 8th grade) on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoon and evenings. No experience is necessary except for an open heart and a willingness to share your faith with the future of our Church. A perk of being a catechist is that if your child is in the program there will be a 50% reduction in their tuition.

The Family Catechesis Program
For Grades 1st through 6th. Families who enroll in Family Catechesis meet on a Sunday morning once a month in McDonough Hall for 75 minutes of reflection, discussion and activities – first as a family, then separately for parents, students in Grades 1 through 3, and students in Grades 4-5 and Grade 6. Teams of catechists will work with each grouping for about 45 minutes. Families will then work on specified sessions in the grade-level Loyola Press books with their students for the remainder of the month, sending in online assessments for each student’s session.
MSM – The Middle School Ministry Program
This option is for students in Grades 7th and 8th and meets in McDonough Hall. Students delve deeper into specific topic areas of our faith in order to discover what it means to live as a Catholic in today’s world and meet on Wednesday evenings from 4:30 to 5:45 pm or from 7 to 8:15 pm.
